I, for my part, as far
as I am able to labor, and to effect any thing by my care, and exertions, and
vigilance, and authority, and counsel, will omit nothing which I may think

by the motion of a most gallant man, and one most firmly attached to you, Marcus
Servilius, whom you see before you, and his colleagues also, most distinguished
men, and most virtuous citizens; and partly, too, by my advice and my example,
we have, for the first time after a long interval, fired up again with a hope of
liberty.
